OPERATING THE MOWER

Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position.

Heavy Growth

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip-

 

pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grass-

 

bag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to

 

dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting

 

with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area

2

again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.

To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of grass height in one cut.

Friction Device

The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction device to help prevent damage occurring to the cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered. When the obstruction or overload situation is removed the friction device will automatically reset.

Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to “Maintenance”.

Non-Grassed Areas

When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the engine and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting mechanism.
